Cris Ericson’s opposition to the horrid organ donation law in Vermont!

I, Cris Ericson, do NOT want to be an organ donor!

Please note that the Vermont Legislature
passed an organ donation law in
Vermont that
allows them to take your organs and
sell them
unless you have previously made a legal
document
or have two witnesses swearing you do
not want
to donate your organs and allow the
hospital to profit.

The problem is that they PRESUME that
you want to donate your organs,
and poor people are OFTEN not aware of this,
nor are they inclined to pay money
to make and file a Will.

Cris Ericson posted in the past her opposition to
this proposed law,
but it was passed into law anyway.

PRESUMED CONSENT OF ORGAN DONATION is EVIL
because
“presumed consent” is
NOT “informed consent”
and all too many poor people in Vermont
do not know about this law
and have religious beliefs
against body snatching and mutilation
that will make what’s left of them roll over in their graves!

This is the law, as passed, despite my
complaints.

THIS NEEDS TO BE REPEALED
AND FORCED ORGAN DONATION NEED TO
BE MADE ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW!!!

§ 5250g. Refusal to make anatomical
gift; effect of refusal
(a) An individual may refuse to make an
anatomical gift of the individual’s body or part by:
(1) an advance directive executed
pursuant to chapter 231 of this title;
(2) a record signed by:
(A) the individual; (etc.)

The problem is that they PRESUME that
you want to donate your organs,
UNLESS YOU FILE LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO PROVE
OTHERWISE,
and poor people are OFTEN not aware of this,
nor are they inclined to pay money
to make and file a Will.

REMEMBER, DOCTORS COMPLAIN THAT VERMONT MEDICAID
DOESN’T PAY THEM ENOUGH – HOW MUCH MONEY CAN THEY
GET IN KICKBACKS TO MAKE SOMEONE DIE ON THE OPERATING
TABLE AND THEN HARVEST THEIR ORGANS?
